Thanks DJ

37 261 has worked the inspection saloon into the factory sidings on Ashburton grove-the engineers annual visit to inspect the location.

Sulzer locomotive 107 works the Burma road goods train through Tara junction.

It’s that time of the year again when the weed spraying train visits Tara junction seeing here being hauled by sound fitted locomotive 160.

The attention to detail on the under bridge and street scene are superb-excellent work

The superb revolution trains inspection car “Caroline” is a new addition to Ashburton grove -seen here being propelled by 37 242.

Superb modelling,well done Rob

Driver training taking place on 59005 while stabled on the loop at Ashburton grove.

Friday evening fun recreating the great days of the late 1980s/early 1990s on Tara junction, 007 hauling the Waterford-Northwall BELL liner passes 121+135 on the Northwall-Sligo BELL liner, 132+174 work the Dublin Connolly Sligo Mk2 set 049 works the Limerick -Dublin Heuston Cravens set 177+129 arrive into Lakeview freight yard working the Limerick cement factory-Lakeview laden bogie bulk cement train 056 works the empty Shelton abbey-Marino point ammonia Enjoy……

With all due respect Andrew….as I have said in a previous thread- IRM models were not too visible at recent UK model exhibitions.

Yes

Two of the tanks arrived in Lakeview freight yard along with a “Manchester liner”container.

Retro liveried locomotive 071 works the Waterford-Lakeview freight yard empty timber train through Tara junction station-and after arrival there the locomotive was uncoupled and went to the MPD for servicing, The freight yard pilot locomotive 143 then shunted the train into position for loading.

10-15 high powered locomotives would be required for Irish operations, The 071s will be withdrawn in 3-5 years so unless IE do a class 69 job on the 201s-there won’t be any other options in the short term.

Low floor container wagons I’m told-but yes DJ-no mention of any future motive power….which is badly needed at this stage.
